I’ve always liked “gomasio” which is a popular Japanese condiment of just sesame seeds & salt. But I forgot about it until recently…
A couple of weeks ago, the salad I ordered at Soho House Chicago came w/ an avocado coated in black & white sesame seeds. It was so delish, I ran home and made my own version of a sesame sprinkle. And now I’m sharing my new condiment obsession w/ you…

Good to know: Black sesame seeds are not hulled, meaning they keep their shells. White ones are hulled, meaning their shells are removed. Their nutrition & taste are basically the same, but black are slightly more crisp & nutty while white are slightly more soft & sweet. xoxo
